"This place is always busy, purely due to the location. We go infrequently, always hoping things have improved, but they never have. This visit was an invitation from friends for brunch, which I’d never had there before. Four of us had the Full English. It was terrible in every aspect. Looked awful, streaky bacon (2 rashers! , really fatty, over cooked sausage, snotty egg, despite telling them how I wanted it cooked, slices of REALLY thin cold sourdough bread, half a tomato the size of a 50p, the same for the solitary mushroom. Don’t get me onto the baked beans, a pot the size of an egg cup, I’m not joking. Oh, and if that wasn’t bad enough, the whole plate was cold. The tea was like gnats, despite letting it sit to brew. Just awful. Don’t get me on to the service. Lazy complacent waiting staff. When I complained, they challenged me! Excuse me! Hugely overpriced for the portions and quality. Come on guys, Sort yourself out. Don’t just rely on footfall because of the location. Up the ante and make it a real destination to visit, for a truly enjoyable experience. Such a shame, but it’s about time that things changed."
